Using deepprobe to see internal extracted nets

FPMKh

Hi,
My Spectre version is 21.1.0.854.isr22.
I want to use deepprobe to access extracted internal nets.
I'm using QRC for extraction and use the dspf file.
The purpose is to do some stability test (without bringing the pin all the way to the top).
I use following for the Hierarchical Node:
Itx_top.XIser\/XLM\/XINVT\[0\]\/MI0\:G
And it's not working (not showing the waveform). XINVT\[0\] is one of the instantiation of the block INVT<3:0>. I should say that I also tried Itx_top.XIser\/XLM\/XINVT\<0\>\/MI0\:G and it did not work either. I also used g instead of G and also "_" instead of ":" which did not help.
I was hoping you could help me debug this.

Thank you

    Please file a Case at https://support.cadence.com.   An AE will be assigned an can help you debug this.   Be sure to include the CDS.log and spectre.out logfiles in the Case.

    If you haven't seen this yet, you can also look at this Article: 

    deepprobe syntax for schematic, extracted view, DSPF, iDSPF, or Smart View 

    The article describes the syntax required for using deepprobe with schematic, extracted view, dspf, and Smart View.

    best regards,

    Tawna
